Made it back "hoarse and sound" from my attempt at singing! The things that you will do after too many Cerveza and Margarita's!!!! Lots of fun!
Awesome job by Randy, TxCajun, :c and the rest of the :notworthy: "TexasXriders Board" at putting on great :bikerider: event! Thanks!!!!!!!

-
Made it back safe and sound. NO MAS CREVESAS!!!!!! That was the longest ride home. Great time and great friends!

Wayne and I made it back today around 4pm. We clocked in a little over 2000 miles this week. WHEW it was a BLAST. Thanks TXCajun, BOD, and TomVTX for arranging the terrific Saturday night. And thanks to all the people who entertained us.
-
Just got home around 7 p.m.. Stopped in Boerne for a few hours and did some shopping, yeah yeah yeah, I know, shopping. It was actually a nice little town to hang out in. might go there in a few weeks to stay at some B&B that looks a lot like the buildings on Bourbon steet. Hope everyone made it back home safe.
-
Home safe and sound. Wow, what a weekend. This wont mean much to a bunch of you hard arses but we clocked 947 miles from start Thursday morning to getting home this afternoon. Our best and longest trip yet. Looking forward to many more.
-
947! baby miles. I trailer more than than. :ohwow: that's pretty good.
-
We got home around 5:00, and we had a great time. Can't wait until next year...
-
Well, we made it home also, although we did not put in near the miles that most of you did. We did some more riding in the hill country and ended up at home about 3:00. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in put together the BBT. We had a great time. It was really nice meeting everyone. And Lucky, it was a major feat getting Pam upon that stage in front of a bunch of people she didn't really know. I didn't think she would do it. Look forward to getting to know you all better. Be Safe.
-
Home after a tour of Texas, way west, way north, way south, way east, had a great time meeting new folks, and seeing the rest or you again.
What a storm, in a very small tent, had dreams of Party, Party or was it real. ??? ???
-
the storms over gumbo! you can come out now!
I took the slow route home, I managed to avoid any type of "slab" until about 80 miles from home....
-
Home again!
Did right at 1200 miles for the weekend! YEAH and I did it on a hard Cranberries seat!! LOL
Had a great time! :thumbup:
-
I got home about 12:30 on Sunday. Was a great ride home and a fantastic weekend. I clocked just over 1000 miles and loved every one of them. Looking forward to next year and other rides in between.
-
Great rides as always, Great friends as always, Great Hog Gumbo, Great Beer (Miller that is), and a Light Show Friday was unsurpassable by almost any I have seen! Thanks for everybody's hard work to make this all possible and and can't wait till next year but I personally, I think the wind, rain, and Wonderful Light show y'all put on was a little much, so, next year I hope the enterainment committee might consider some other form of Friday nite fun and games!! Oh by the way I made it home about 6:45 Sunday, good to be home but sorry it's over! :c :c

i agree the friday night entertainment, was.... intense!
-
May the good times never end. Tinkerbell and I made it as far as Camp Wood before stumbling upon Dusty's secret place. Headed for BJ's this morning! :-)
I guess we'll make it back home by Sunday.
I had a great time seeing old friends and dodging the weather and am looking forward to next year!
-
We made it home about 10 last night, after stopping and having an afternoon meal at Southside Market in Elgin with the Divita's. I had a great time, and enjoyed hanging out and seeing everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed this years event. Let's make next year's event even bigger and better. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Hell yeah boy!
-
Hey riders, thanks for the great time! My wife (MaryBeth) and I (Robert) had a blast! We're the other deaf couple (not Mandy and Gary) that camped out in the pavilion ;D
We appreciate everyone's courtesy towards us and made us feel welcome. Thanks Chad for the personal guide! Don't change at all except maybe for your singing. :D I look forward to another gathering wherever yall plan to be.
-
Made it home, took a shower and the daugher cooked dinner - man was that nice. I got to just sit back and enjoy.
This was really the first time I can remember where the return trip was as nice as the trip down and and around the sites, not the usuall sore rear - get me offa this thing hair on fire return.
Sorry I missed the light show - guess that'sthe trouble with the pavillion - it blocks out all the interesting stuff... ;D

Kim and I had a a lot of fun. We almost put a whole 200 miles on the bike. It was all quality miles. Thanks to everyone that participated in making it all happen. All 3 or 4 of my friends were there. :stickpoke: I think I even talked to them once, I may have spoken to one of them twice. :rofl:
My trip home finally ended about 6 last night after leaving the park about 9:30 am. We stopped at the Denny's in Fredericksburg for breakfast. We couldn't get seated. We couldn't get them to even acknowledge that we were there. So we left and ate in Comfort. Got to Kim's house in Boerne and hooked the travel trailer up to her truck and the bike back up to mine. I changed hitches so my bike would sit level. I left her house right at noon, turned onto 1376 and gas choked the truck. As I went across a little bridge I hit a bump. Looked in my mirror to see my trailer and bike not keeping up. :redcard: I freaked. The trailer slid about 150 feet on the hitch ( yes, the hitch) and off the road into the dirt on my side of the road. :thatwasclose:
After I backed up to the trailer, I walked to the back to see my hitch pin still locked in place. That's right, I missed the hole with the pin. How I drove a mile before it came out, I will never know.
Where were my chains you ask? :idontknow: Well, with the new hitch, my chains were too short, so before I had even left my house, I had gotten chain out of my shop to extend them. That was the last time I thought about them until I hooked up at Kims. :banghead: So, the next time you think you have hit the hole, you may want to try and pull out to make sure you were really in. :hmm: :cantbelieve: :rofl:
I did make it home but not without sitting in Houston traffic for an hour. I-10 East was down to a single lane starting at about the 45 exit. I've got to find another route to the Hill Country even if it's slower roads. :deadhorse:
-
Wow, Dusty, glad you made it ok. I hope everything else turned out ok for you. It was very nice meeting you.
-
I got home around 4:30 PM Sunday. DUSTY!!! I was the one you talked to TWICE!!!! LOL

It was good to meet you too, as well as everyone else that I met. :thumbup:

Yeah your right and I didn't bring up SHEEP once! :angel:
-
Damn dusty.

I'm glad I looked back. I would have really felt stupid to have gotten on I-10, looked back and saw nothing. I had one strap that came unhooked and I'm guessing that came loose when the trailer hit the pavement. Other wise the bike just rode it out and never moved. What's ironic is Randy had pointed out that the "S" hooks on the straps I have didn't curve enough. The particular hook he was looking at was almost off at that time and that's when I first got to BBT. I'll be putting some more curve in them.

Kenny, I really did think about coming to tell you bye but after dumping the the trailer tanks I was so hungry I forgot about it. It may have been more like 6 or 7. :stickpoke: :thumbup:
-
Dusty I am sooooooooooo glad you AND the bike got home in good shape.
Wayne and I did the same thing once with our sailboat. Actually I did it. When we prepare to launch our sailboat we have to extend the tongue on the trailer...Wayne pulls the truck forward while I watch for the hole to slip the pin thru. This was our first time to use this set up. I saw an opening come up and slipped the pin in...like you, it was AFTER the hole went by and so the pin was in empty air. Wayne went to back the boat down the ramp and as it went into the water it took the trailer with it. Like me, I'm sure you will never make that mistake again.

Ok, Sorry I'm late. I'm home on Sunday the 2'nd at 7:45 p.m. 11 days, 1700 miles.
It's a terrific feeling when leaving the rally on Sunday to turn back towards the hill country. :bikerider: :bikerider: :bikerider:
I've found some terrific rides that I've never ridden before, and some new places to explore the next time I'm there.
Oh yeah, thank you very much Dusty Bill. :thumbup:
